Chapter 4900: Solomon Island Reef

"Where is this?" Lin Rui looked at the satellite picture.
"Here." Captain Lu Qi said to Lin Rui. "In fact, our base belongs to the Chagos Islands, a total of 2,300 large and small tropical islands. Diego Garcia Island at the southern end is where we are located.
There are Egmont Islands in the southwest, Salomon Islands in the northeast, and many islands in the north, such as the Pelus Badanius Islands. There are many islands and reefs around.
If it is to hide a small boat, it is indeed possible. But if the large and medium-sized ship. It will be spotted by our air patrol.
But then again, if you want to attack the base of Diego Garcia Island, let alone small ships, at least you have to have a fleet. "Captain Lu Qi said with a smile.
"Then suppose there is such a group of life-and-death terrorists who intend to enter this island to cause sabotage. So they deliberately took a small boat to a nearby island to avoid your surveillance.
If it were you, where do you think they would settle down? "Lin Rui frowned and asked, "With so many islands and reefs around, there is always one place that is most suitable for them to stay." "
Captain Lucky thought for a while, "If that's the case, I will definitely choose Solomon Islands if I choose."
"Solomon Islands?" Lin Rui asked, looking at the map, "Why?"
"The Solomon Islands I'm talking about are not the Pacific Ocean, but part of the Chagos Islands. The location is here. It's actually quite simple, because the location is good." Captain Luchi pointed to the map and said, "Look, this is the Solomon Islands. It is located between Blenheim Reef and Perus Banius Island in the northeast of the Chagos Islands.
What about this archipelago? It consists of 11 islands, with a total land area of ​​approximately 3.5 square kilometers and a lagoon area of ​​36 square kilometers.
The main islands are Bodham Island on the edge of the western reef, with a land area of ​​1.08 square kilometers; On Laise Island, with an area of ​​0.82 square kilometers. Fouquet Island in the southeast is 0.45 square kilometers, and Takamaka Island has an area of ​​0.48 square kilometers. Pas Island in the east has an area of ​​0.28 square kilometers, and Mapu Island has an area of ​​0.04 square kilometers.
The islands are overgrown with coconut and palm trees. In the second half of the 18th century, Mauritians came to the atoll to work in coconut plantations.
At that time, the Solomon Islands had about 400 residents, and there was a pier, shops, schools, and churches on Bodham Island.
After being uninhabited, all the buildings are now hidden in the dense jungle.
So if I were an attacker, I would give priority to this place. Because people have lived here for a long time, it means there should be water on the island.
And those abandoned buildings can be used to hide.
In addition, this island has been designated as a nature reserve in the 1980s. The vegetation on the island is dense and inaccessible.
If it is a small boat, it is easy to hide. However, I still think this is unlikely.
A small boat, a dozen people. Attack on a large military base like Diego Garcia. I think it is impossible. "Captain Lu Qi shook his head.
"Oh? Why does the captain think it's impossible?" Lin Rui turned his head and looked at him.
"Because the number of people and the armed forces are all insufficient. A small team of a dozen people can only make trouble at most. There is no attack at all.
And thanks to the defense and early warning system of our base, their ships could not get close to our base.
The defense system of this base has been comprehensively improved for a long time. If an unfamiliar ship approaches, an early warning will be given. Our interceptor ships and aircraft will be dispatched to warn them and stop them. Warn them that civilians are not allowed to board Diego Garcia Island.
If the other party does not listen to dissuasion, it will be seen as a threat. Our ships will lean over, under the cover of air strikes, occupy the ship and capture all the people on it. "Captain Lu Qi said with a smile. "This kind of thing has happened before. "
"Oh, have similar incidents happened before?" Lin Rui frowned and asked.
"Several times, the aboriginal people on the original island have been arguing with us. It is said that we have taken their homes. There have been a few cases of forced landing on the island, but we have all detained them, but later released them.
After all, they are unarmed civilians. "Captain Lu Qi shook his head.
"What if it's a group of militants?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Then of course we will open fire resolutely. With our firepower, none of them can get to the island alive." Captain Lu Qi replied. "To be honest, it is impossible to attack this base. Even if the opponent sends a fleet, under our double pressure from sea and air, it is impossible to perform. Even if this group of people barely landed on the island under strong firepower, it is estimated There is only a small half left. After landing on the island, we have to face our Marines."
"Of course. But I'm not referring to this kind of attack, I'm referring to the kind of terrorist attack. Regardless of the cost, just to make you lose money.
For example, infiltrating with a small group of troops, causing blasting, arson, or poisoning and other terrorist attacks. Lin Rui nodded, "Do you think this will catch you by surprise?" "
"This..." Captain Lu Qi hesitated, "If you want to say that, it's possible. After all, this island is so big, it's possible to get one or two people in."
"That's why we are here. Captain, do you have time? Take us on a helicopter to look down on this base. By the way, stroll around the surrounding waters.
I hope that I can understand this island more clearly before I can make a reasonable security assessment of this island. "
"Of course, no problem." Captain Lu Qi nodded. "But I have to report this situation."
"Of course." Lin Rui nodded.
Captain Lu Qi stepped aside, picked up the phone, and called the commander. Then he walked over to Lin Rui and nodded, "When shall we leave? Is it now or wait?"
"Just now." Lin Rui nodded to him with a smile. "Has the commander agreed?"
"Yes, the commander has agreed. He asked me to cooperate with your evaluation work and provide you with all the conveniences." Captain Lu Qi nodded. "So where do you want you to go? I personally drive you around. To be honest, this piece of scenery is the most beautiful in the Indian Ocean."
"Thank you." Lin Rui nodded to him. "Are we taking your plane?"
"But that one has just finished flying and is still under maintenance. We are sitting on the sea knight over there." Lu Qi smiled. "The space for the sea knight is large enough for you and other brothers to go up together. I will take you around."
The Sea Knight CH-46 helicopter is a tandem twin-rotor helicopter, which looks like a Chinook helicopter.
It has a very large carrying capacity and can transport 25 people at one time.
Captain Lu Qi took Lin Rui and all his team members onto the helicopter. Take them to look down at the base and islands below from the air.
